john bolton, it's very strange. the iran deal was essentially donald trump withdrew from the iran deal just after bolton arrived a the white house. he must have been delighted by that. and now he is trapped in this nightmarish situation where trump seems to be operating on trust with kim. bolton has said for years you can't trust the north koreans. they'll lie to your face over and over. and i think behind the scenes, bolton is probably trying to convince the president this is a very dangerous game he is playing. >> gordon when he came in here actually said this pompeo trip may be make or break. if pompeo doesn't make some ground up here, there may be a problem. guys, thanks very much. gordon chang and michael crowley, thanks to both of you. >>> keeping the number of undocumented kids taken from their parents secret. when "the 11th hour" continues. when i received the diagnosis, i knew at that exact moment, whatever it takes, wherever i have to go...i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors that

i think there is a lot to be done and john bolton knows that very well. i have the sense he's trying to burden the thing with missiles and other issues, which obviously we need to get at. i am not sure if this is an achievable objective as he describes it. >> we'll see what secretary pompeo comes back. ambassador christopher hill, thank you for joining us. >>> just before we go, the white house says that president trump has had a half hour phone call with mexico's president-elect. he said they had quote, a great talk about border security, trade, and nafta. so we'll see where that relationship goes from here. and that is it for our program tonight. thanks for watching "amanpour" on pbs. join us again tomorrow night. >> you're watching p >> you're watching "beyond 100 days" on pbs. the global tide of populism sweeps up mexico in a landslide election. >>ers dealt a stunning blow to the country's established political parties. >> this is the new president. he is left wing, in favor of redistribution and against donald trump. >> the new project the nation wil

a 22—year—old man from bolton has been arrested on suspicion of arson.e 100 soldiers are helping crews fight a separate fire on saddleworth moor 30 miles away, they will be there until at least tomorrow. experts say that rain is what is really needed. none is forecast for days. 0ur news correspondent dave guest has been at the scene of one of the most affected areas, winter hill. fire crews from across the country have nowjoined the battle to bring this blaze under control. lancashire teams have been here since thursday, when the fire first broke out. yesterday, two separate fires merged into one and it was declared a major incident. there are now something like 150 firefighters up on the moor trying to put out the flames. the terrain is difficult, the ground is tinder dry and they are being hampered by strong winds, which continually whip up the flames. the problem with peat fires, as we discovered on saddleworth moor last week, is that they continue to burn underground for some time and pop up in different areas. firefighters say there have been a numb

strong words from john bolton. we are getting used to that. is this to president rouhani? he has to gauge how strongly the european union will come out fighting and it will be tricky for the european union to stop getting what it wants out of withdrawal so he needs to understand how we are they to do things and how far we how we are they to do things and how farwe are going how we are they to do things and how far we are going to match up in the us. the european leaders were quick to respond when the us pulled out of the deal, emmanuel macron, angela merkel and theresa may. trying to persuade donald trump not to pull out. how important is the relationship? it's very important. it's seen as being one new market for european business and really showing the european union union union has some cloud in the world so the europeans didn't have much option, and whether they can do that isa option, and whether they can do that is a practical matter. they are hoping this relationship can continue. total, airbus, other big players who want to do business

it's in the voice of john bolton. bolton was the emissary on the invitation and notable they are using the language that the president we can rip it from his twitter feed and put it on this official statement from the white house. we will find out more as this develops. but it is sthif kipt because there was the plan and my phone is ringing. i am going to hope that source will hang on. >> take the call. take the call. tell us what you get. >> so that's -- it's bolton in that sense that we were expecting this putin meeting. now we know it will be delayed. when and will it happen next time? we don't know. it certainly is a measure of the price politically that the president, the white house thinks they are paying for the president's interaction in helsinki and to some degree what vladimir putin may be thinking as well. of course, they have their issues with the ongoing back and forth about the offer as it was described that putin made to try to have americans interviewed for things that the russian federation thinks the

that was john bolton. >> let me guess it was john bolton, yeah. >> yes! john bolton invited put on the the white house d. the views change or grin the teeth, bear it and make the invite the president wanted? >> we have seen a lot of grit his teeth and bear it out of the john bolton. one point few weeks ago he said he wasn't commenting on all of his previous writing. well, i can imagine why john bolton wouldn't want to comment on the previous writing. you could have reached for a great essay about how the president should go meet kim jong-un, explain to him where to mail the nuclear weapons, not getting into a lengthy conversation with him and only after the weapons were turned over to then do much. well, what did we hear from secretary pompeo the other day and the president? this is going to be a long, drawn out process. i think that's reality. but it's certainly isn't the reality that bolton thought he was signing on for. >> really quickly, shawn, before we go, angela merkel today, not only on the same page as the president on a lot of things, she welcom

bolton showed us the scratches on his legs from the bear's claws. bolton is no black belt...ut against this black bear his instinct kicked in.johnny bolton:"i didn't make a decision, i just kicked. there was no cognitive process there. it was just instantaneous i have to move this threat away from me. and it was fight or flight, with no opportunity for flight." bolton says the jump kick didn't move the bear much...but left the animal stunned and maybe even scared. johnny bolton:"when i kicked the bear, the bear urinated. then when the whole thing was over i kind of checked-- did i? i think i might have, and i didn't. so only one of us wet himself but it was the bear." bolton's friends were upstairs asleep during the confrontation.gerry orton came downstairs just as the bear was leaving.gerry orton: "i was in a state of complete amazement that the bear was still in the house. i didn't know the bear was in the house."beating the oddsin a face to face confrontation with a bear.using karate move...he hadn't practiced since he was a kid"there was no wax on wax off...it was a lucky

it's hard to not find the similarities between these two as much as john bolton might like to say. >> ned, we heard that story lavrov told yesterday or so that it was america that asked for the one-on-one meeting, not the russians. we haven't confirmed this on our end, but is this a precedent for these one-on-one meetings where there's only interpreters involved? also, is there an advantage for that from a diplomacy perspective? >> so there is one precedent, one and only one precedent during the obama administration. that, in fact, was with this same vladimir putin, the president of russia. president obama in the final weeks of his administration had a brief, heavily scripted, highly choreographed, well-rehearsed one on one with president putin as the intelligence picture of russia's meddling in our election was coming clear. this was in china on the sidelines of the g20. president obama took vladimir putin aside on the sidelines of a bilateral meeting and told him, we know what you're doing and any further escalation of this will be met with severe consequences. but again, this was p

course said that let me quote him there when chart is over well to hear from john bolton about we can't that is something you know that is going to you know you know what that tells me and tells me that john bolton loeb's. power he wanted for the key because you know you want to try new things not going to be over anytime soon it is the one straw that the u.s. democratic party has to let you know eighteen months after the election they're still argue with the referee this is a suicide note on the table one of the things gentlemen i keep saying this and maybe this is going to be my signature comment for the year ok try this mitt putin campaign promise kept ok check done let me go back to charles in london i think all of us took a look at this article in the spectator and there's no author attached to it trumpet trades the elites a sense that the u.s. always is a peer in democracy loving you know it's really quite interesting because the authors of this article essentially say that trump is the first post exceptional as president to be united states that's a remarkable characterization go

but we have to remember this about john bolton. when john bolton was auditioning for a position in the trump administration, he went on fox news, and that's how you do audition for positions in the trump administration, and he suggested that the russians may not have hacked the dnc t krchc that it may have been a false flag operation by the obama administration. i mean, that i think for conspiracy theorists, even they looked at that theory and said, wait a minute, i don't even get that. but that was what john bolton was putting out when he was seeking this position. so the fact that he would now call it a witch hunt is distressing but not at all surprising. i think the back and forth on a future summit between putin and the president shows now just how much putin feels he's in the driver's seat with this president. he can essentially throw cold water on his coming to the white house, something that any other world leader would rush for the opportunity, and suggest, no, donald trump, you come to me, you come to moscow. it's a power

the question for john bolton is, what part of that is a witch hunt?s the indictment of 25 russians, is that the witch hunt? are the guilty pleas a witch hunt? it is a completely inappropriate thing for him to say. it is functionally no different from what the president did this week. >> betsy de la vega, you worked for bob mueller. i've never seen a national security adviser in all my years in washington, they may have been on differently pages, but i've never seen a national security adviser be that political. the fact of him being this overt in undercutting the intelligence community is unprecedented. >> it's absolutely unprecedented, andrea. but from the point of view of mueller and his team, i can guarantee you that they are not concerned about all of these extraneous events. you can think of it as mueller is on really kind of a search and rescue and accountability mission for the united states. we have been attacked, and he and his team, as matt just summarized, have their hands full with existing cases, but they also have many cases still under

>> it's worth remembering going back to john bolton, john bolton was a russia hawk. >> i'm old enough to remember months ago. >> i think what's happened is he wants to keep his job. i think the president set the tone and john bolton is following along. whether he is going to say something more definitive after the summit, but again he says the president -- president trump will confront putin and say we don't wanted meling in the 2018 election. that's going to be very hard to confirm when no one else is witnessing the meeting. >> who is the biggest loser in the report? it strikes me they went out of their way -- well, they dumped it on july 3 -- to contrast themselves with the house intelligence committee. seems as though they're saying sorry chairman nunes in house intel, you have it wrong. >> i don't know that that was burr's goal. i think burr is concerned about what happened in 2016. off lot of members of the senate who are concerned about what happened and don't want to see that happen again and are concerned about the fact that this administration appears to be complacent at best

if you're in this cabinet or national security adviser john bolton, why do you stay? dan: i would say there's a high-minded reason and not--high-minded reason. the high-minded reason is the belief they're sving their country. somebody like secretary mattis, lifetime career in the militaryr duty, h country, they believe in what they're doing and they believe when the president ask s them tove, they should serve. i think they suspect or they believe that they areinact, providing at least some guide rails, that they are, in some way or anoth, being able to reassure allies that there i-- that the is a government that can function effectively. i think the less high-minded reason is that some people are attracted to power and it is very hard t give it up when you have it. and once you get to those positions -- and i'm not ascribing that to any particular individual, but to humantature, that takes it difficult to step aside. nabert: you've spent time interviewing nat security adviser john bolton in the past month. he seemed to try to navigate that, sometimes uneasily, with y

in the words of john bolton, we'll see. that is straight ahead on "morning joe."heck on the forecast. >> heat continues to be the big story, especially in areas of the northeast. we cooled you off in areas of the great lakes and ohio valley at least for now. 59 million people at risk of the excessive heat warning and advisories, from maine to northern vermont into areas around norfolk and virginia beach. who will see the hottest heat indices later today, that's the combination of heat and humidity. it looks like norfolk. look at this, looks like 115 this afternoon. at one point in connecticut there was a city that felt like 120. connecticut, yes. today, 109 in d.c. new york city will feel like 102. even in northern vermont, burlington, will feel like 103. a lot of people wondering about your plans on wednesday, there will be a lot of downpours on the gulf coast especially from houston, down to baton rouge and new orleans. you is a chance for getting rained out for your plans. hopefully not, but there's a potential at least. storms going through minnesota and hit a

trump will be joined by secretary of state mike pompeo, national security adviser john bolton, and chief of staff john kelly. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> before heading to helsinki, comes to talks with mr. putin, he has low expectations. >> i go into a meeting like that never with high expectations, but maybe some really good stuff can happen. >> not high expectations. you're just -- it's a one-on-one conversation. >> whatever it is, i'm representing our country. i want to do great for our country, and i'm sure he wants to do well for his. but that doesn't make it mutually exclusive. i think we can do something that's good for everybody. >> reporter: last friday, special counsel robert mueller indicted 12 russian military intelligence officers for their efforts to undermine the 2016 presidential election. putin has denied ordering the interference, but national security adviser john bolton today called foul. >> i find it hard to believe, but that's what one of the purposes of this meeting is, so the president can see eye to eye with president putin and ask him about it. >> the r

bolton national security adviser saying to do in it a year is unrealistic.about is everything from where are the scientists and engineers? where's the documentation and the nuclear materials and the facilities? and then you get into how you monitor over time to ensure they don't rebuild. you are not going to do that in 12 months. won't happen. >> phil, there are significant questions, not only about differing thoughts that we are hearing to put it mildly from both john bolton and mike pompeo and looking at the intelligence that we're getting. the intelligence community putting out a report of kim jong-un's intentions s. there a sense that's being done and worried about the president's approach here? >> i don't think they would be worried about the president's approach but any intelligence officer looking at this saying i have a responsibility both to look at what they're doing on the ground and what i think they do in the future. i would take this assessment and i'm a former intel guy with a grain of salt. trying to determine of what's going on in his head.

you have john bolton who who would be delighted to rain a hail of bullets and fury. >> john bolton is the right man for the job. i would rather be in this situation than if you had hillary in this situation. it's about time we sat down and made this happen to protect the rest of the world. i'm look forward to see what happens. but he's not launching anymore missiles in the sky anymore. kennedy: what do you say about the satellite images that show the same activity and they could be expanding. >> they could be. or they could be building something else. we don't know exactly what's going on over there. we have the tough jest president and administration and we are in the right spot. kennedy: he's right about the unpredictability. that sets a non-politician apart from path presidencies. if you can't trust north korea and we haven't been able to trust them in the past. they have essentially gotten us up to this point several times throughout various broken peace processes. what do you do now? >> they lied to us many, many times before. what brought kim jong-un to the table is president tr

course said that let me quote him i'm there when chart is over well to hear from john bolton about we can't that is something that is going to you know you know what that tells me and tells me that john bolton loeb's power you want to. know you want to tell you it's not going to. be over anytime soon it is the one straw that the u.s. democratic party has to let you know eighteen months after the election they're still argue with the referee look at this it's a suicide note on the table one of the things gentlemen i keep saying this and it maybe this is going to be my signature comment for the year ok try this mitt putin campaign promise kept ok check done let me go back to charles in london i think all of us took a look at this article in the spectator and there's no author attached to it trumpet trades the elites a sense that the u.s. always is a peer in democracy loving you know it's really quite interesting because the authors of this article essentially say that trump is the first post exceptional as president to be united states that's a remarkable characterization go ahead charl

john bolton is putting in place the replacements for that. it is -- he assured me that is a key issue that we need to address. in the meantime, this is spread throughout our various agencies. each one, somewhat different than the other, taking major steps, but we have fusion centers. we have processes underway. kirstjen nielsen told you what dhs is doing. defense is doing that. all of our agencies are engaged in that. this is going to continue to ramp up and it involves not just tampering with the election, but it involves putting the right defenses in place, the right strategies in place in terms of how to retaliate if necessary. it's clearly one of our top priorities. >> last week you said russia and other actors were exploring vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and trying to infiltrate energy, water, nuclear and manufacturing sectors. these actions are persistent. they are pervasive. and they are meant to undermine america's democracy. have they succeeded? have you found penetrations in areas? >> well, sure. i mean, we see -- all y

his national security adviser john bolton told abc news' jon karl that the indictments actually give trump some leverage. >> i think the president can put this on the table and say this is a serious matter. we need to talk about it. >> reporter: and also on the table will be ukraine, likely syria, but, again, we'll learn a whole lot more in just a few hours. linsey, kenneth. >> molly hunter, thank you. abc news will bring you live coverage of the president's news conference with vladimir putin this morning on air and on abc news app. >>> we turn now to chicago and the growing outrage after the fatal police shooting of a popular barber. frustrated neighbors protested in the streets clashing with police, and more demonstrators are expected today. the chief of police looking to ease tensions has now released body cam footage of the moments leading up to the shooting and abc's lynda lopez joins us with more. good morning, lynda. >> reporter: good morning, kenneth. after protests that led to four officers being injured and led to several arrests, the police superintendent making the decis

john bolton's own words.'s listen in. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: come to basically discuss our -- >> a great world cup, one of the best ever, from what everybody tells me, one of the best ever. [ speaking foreign language ] >> i watched quite a bit. in the united states we call it soccer. i watched quite a bit of it. i watched the entire final and the semi-finals and they were really spectacular games. but it was beautifully done. so congratulations on that. [ speaking foreign language ] >> most importantly we have a lot of good things to talk about and things to talk about. we have discussions on everything from trade to military to missiles to nuclear to china. we'll be talking a little bit about china. our mutual friend, president xi jinping. [ speaking foreign language ] >> i think we have great opportunities together as the two countries -- frankly we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years. i've been here not too long, but it's getting close to two years, but

and this is a statement by john bolton. the president believes that the next bilateral -- what do you think about that statement. >> the russia investigation is not going to be done then. so that is fantastical thinking. secondly, i think i know why this was postponed. when the president announced that he were going to invite vladimir putin to the united states. he shocked his national director of intelligence. but who he really shocked was republican majorities in the house and senate who were like, are you kidding me. you are going to invite this guy who attacked america's election system to pal around with you right before the midterms. i am sure the congressional leadership said you have to push that back. they probably told him to cancel. and he instead said i won't cancel. and make it a holiday visit instead. >> the way he behaved and oriented himself on this one fixed unchanging issue while he goes back and forth of china and goes all over the map, yada-yada. why in your mind is he like this on this issue. >> i will

because they believe john bolton will be tougher on russia than president trump would.ntence that john bolton said we asked the kremlin about this earlier today, and they seemed pretty happy about the whole thing. they say, look, they say they can see now that the political will has finally prevailed, meaning president trump, and now the understanding that such points for discussion should not be an obstacle on the path of repairing and expanding the bilateral dialogue. obviously what the russians are trying to do and hoping to do is sort of exclude that whole topic from any sort of negotiations to make sure the americans don't press things like the issue of crimea and try to get other concessions from the u.s. in the process. it's something that they say this they have been wanting to do. then they were also very clear going further on that call saying look for the russians crimea is not up for negotiations. they say crimea is theirs and the u.s. is going to have to accept that fact, jim. >> you might then ask what has russia conceded to the u.s.? hard to so what's on

as to why, national security adviser john bolton cited the ongoing russia investigation.statement "the meeting would be better after the russia witch hunt is over." meaning the mueller investigation. with me now is max boot, a cnn global affairs analyst and "washington post" columnist. daniel dale, a reporter for the toronto star summarized this in a tweet saying trump gets mad at coverage of putin summit orders bolton to announce second meeting they announce second meeting putin's like don't know that's a lot of commitment. second meeting is delayed indefinitely. they blame mueller. does that sound about right to you? >> i saw that tweet by daniel dale. i thought that was a very succinct summary of what happened. the only thing i would add to that summary is that remember, bolton was the guy who before he became national security adviser said that the russian attack on america was an act of war. and now he's saying that the investigation of this act of war is this rigged witch hunt? i mean, this is so unseemly. we are so used to this in washington under the trump adminis

national security advisor john bolton. defending the president amid a whole bunch of criticism about the president's upcoming summit with russian president vladmir putin. john bolton goes on to say he doesn't think, quote, anybody ought to have a case of the vapors. here to weigh in, fox news senior strategic analyst general jack keane. general, what do you make of john bolton's comments? >> well, as it pertains to putin, certainly one, we should definitely have the summit. some people are concerned about legitimatizing putin on the world stage, given he has been something of an international pariah. i agree that is what is going to happen but listen, i mean the issues are just so serious, that the issues certainly are clearly far more important than putin's domestic audience here. we have thousands dead in ukraine. hundreds of thousands dead in syria. putin has his hands in both of those countries enabling in harm coming to people. meddling in the elections in europe and united states. he has been backdooring assistance t

and bolton would not address "the washington post" report that u.s. intelligence agencies have concluded north korea has no intention of fully dismantling its nuclear stockpile. for the very latest cnn's will ripply joins us this morning from beijing. will, the path towards denuclearization in the peninsula is just rife with two steps forward, three steps back. where are we now? >> reporter: and we were saying that repeatedly christine in the lead up to the summit in singapore there need to be specifics, transparency on the part of the north koreans. any deal would not need to be verified. they would need unprecedented access to north korea to these sites. and right now there's nothing from north korea doing that. they didn't talk about dismantling their missile facilities. and now there are these satellite images that show dramatic expansion at a missile facility. indicating there may be secret nuclear facilities as well enriching plutonium and uranium, "the new york times" saying there might even be a new nuclear extractor. this is going to be the r

dana, your thoughts. >> john bolton is one. how about the president's own director of national intelligence. the president of the united states effectively just threw under the bus in favor of the russian president on an issue that has to do with russia interfering in american elections. i mean if you just kind of take a pause and think about that, and that's just one example. david gergen is right, it's almost hard, all of us speak for a living, to put into words what we just saw and how astonishing it is. i also just want to say, anderson, beforehand you were questioning whether either of these men would go after a free press. they didn't. and i think we saw -- i know we saw a prime example of how we need a free press an what a free press can do. jeff mason with reuters, the associated press reporter, they asked the questions of vladimir putin that had president of the united states failed to do. and that is something. it is really something. if there is an upside of having this summit aside from the basic idea of having dipl

national security adviser john bolton says he expects president to tell putin the u.s.sn't quantity to see meddling in the 2018 election. we know that's the sentiment as well from the u.s. intelligence community. how likely will this happen? >> about 0% possibility that the president is going to bring up russia's election meddling. precisely because the president still denies or still trying to make people believe that it didn't actually happen. and, of course, as we've seen the president's advisers can't exactly control him. so when he walks into that meeting with putin, there are a lot of fears it's going to end up being the exact same result as his meeting with kim jong-un. kim jong-un apparently promised to denuclearize. trump declared it a victory. now we see he's actually still expanding their nuclear capabilities after the president already gave up military drills with south korea which were meant as a deterrent to the north. this is something that, you know, the president has already not ruled out the idea that he might recognize crimea as a part of russia becau

john bolton, i know he is no friend of vladmir putin.avid: mike pompeo is another one. >> mike pompeo, nikki haley, every single one has clear eyes and are tough on russia but this nonsense of going up and flattering vladmir putin, even having a summit with him, then agreeing or saying it is a credible idea to hand over a bunch of anti-putin activists, people who worked in the u.s. government to try to contain russia is just appalling. david: bill, final question, if the white house was to ask you to come and meet with either the president or one of his assistants, either secretary of state or john bolton or whomever, would you do so now to try to clear things up? >> of course i would. i spend a lot of time in washington briefing everybody. nobody has ever asked me at the white house but everybody knows me in the senate and house of representatives and of course. i mean these people should know that vladmir putin is one of the biggest criminals in the world. he needs to be contained, not engaged. david: have you met with john bolton or m

but again, when bolton says, why would he do that?e president in a position of weakness, what bolton is really doing is avoiding the real issue, which is that president trump doesn't need to just ask putin if he meddled. doesn't need to just ask putin if he'll extradite. he needs to say, we are going to do this to you in order to deter you from doing this again. if you do it again, we're going to do, a., b. and c. and maybe more. that's the issue that bolton and the president are trying to avoid. that's what a normal president would do. >> and ellie, it seems like herein lies the problem, that the president is walking into this meeting in order to get vladimir putin to like him and create a relationship with him, versus confronting him over the missed deeds and the election meddling or basically helping sway our election. >> right. as al gore once said, we are entering a time of consequences. in regards to election meddling, right? what we have to do is we have to -- the reason why these -- what these indictments say is exactly how ru
